Re: Any right handed, left eye dominant shooters out there?
I'm right hand, left eye, and like dr.walrus, my eyesight is significantly better in my left eye than in my right (no incorrectable impairment though, thankfully). For bows I go right because my right side is stronger. With rifles it depends; if I'm supporting the rifle I go right for the same reason as bows, but if the rifle is supported I switch and go lefty, and personally I find it a lot more comfortable. It's been a while since I used a shotgun, but when I did I just stayed with my right side, again for strength (accuracy is a little less important there anyways). For pistols, I'm like Spawn and use both eyes. I forget where I saw this first, but there's a general rule of thumb I like to use with pistols; if you have to really aim carefully to hit the target with a pistol, you're using the wrong gun. :P

With a shotgun basically I couldn't hit a damn thing. The issues with my right eye are not correctable - let's just say if I had two the same I'd never be able to drive.
For shotgun shooting there is such a thing as a crossover stock - it has a dogleg that allows you to put it to your right shoulder and still line up with your left eye.
